Title:Restoring sustainable abstraction : technical guidanceAuthor: Environment AgencyDocument Type: MonographAbstract:The aim of the Restoring Sustainable Abstraction Programme (RSAP) is to identify over abstraction in rivers and wetland sites and, where possible, put it right. RSAP was set up in 1999 to catalogue the number of rivers and wetland sites suspected of being affected by over-abstraction in England and Wales, and establish a remedial strategy. A number of environmental groups have voiced concern about over-abstraction and the European Birds and Habitats Directives requires the Agency to pay heed to over abstraction by reviewing consents in designated areas.Publisher: Environment AgencyPublication Date: 2001Publication Place: BristolSubject Keywords:Sustainable development; Water abstraction; Strategies; Methodology; TechniquesExtent: 79; + annexPermalink:http://www.environmentdata.org/archive/ealit:2115Total file downloads: 0
